Chat GPT 4o reply:
Thanks for the screenshot.
What you’re showing is from Cursor — a code editor that integrates AI capabilities and allows connections to various models, not just from OpenAI, but also from Anthropic (Claude), Google (Gemini), and others. In your screenshot, we see:
-
gpt-5
-
gpt-5-fast
-
claude-4-sonnet
-
gemini-2.5-pro
-
etc.
What does this mean?
As of now, OpenAI has not officially released a model called GPT-5. So what you’re seeing is likely:
-
A marketing or internal label – It’s possible that Cursor or another provider is labeling an improved or customized version of GPT-4 (like GPT-4o) as “gpt-5” to differentiate between tiers or performance levels.
-
An early-access or unofficial release – While theoretically possible, it’s very unlikely that GPT-5 would be available to Cursor users without any official announcement from OpenAI.
-
A third-party model using the name “gpt-5” – Unfortunately, some platforms rebrand existing models with new names for promotional purposes, even when the underlying technology hasn’t changed.
Conclusion
Unless OpenAI publicly announces GPT-5 — which hasn’t happened as of August 2025 — any reference to “gpt-5” in Cursor is either a rebranding, an internal naming convention, or a third-party integration. Currently, ChatGPT (this platform) does not have access to GPT-5 because it officially doesn’t exist.
If you’d like, I can check official sources to verify whether anything new has been released recently.
